U+07A0 "ޠ" Thaana Letter To Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ޠ
U+07A0 "ޠ" Thaana Letter To is a letter of the Thaana script, which is used primarily to write the Dhivehi language, the official language of the Maldives. In the Thaana alphabet, this character represents a retroflex t sound, which is a consonant pronounced with the tongue curled back against the roof of the mouth, similar to the "t" found in languages like Hindi or Urdu. The letter To is distinguished from other Thaana t-like characters by its specific diacritical shape and phonetic function, and it is written from right to left in the Thaana script. Like all Thaana letters, To appears without a built-in vowel, and its pronunciation depends on the vowel diacritics (or absence thereof) that accompany it in a word.
